not even dont do it ...it ruin your life working or cars:tongue:

If ya find a carb already jetted to suit your CC engine then you should be fine just swapping over.

not found a carb as yet i was thinking maybe looking in scarp yard was wondering if mk2 1.3 carb would work on my engine got get newq mainfold and down pipe so be off up the scrap yard on thrusday if u no of anywhere else that mite be worth looking let me know please

Personally i would'nt even attempt to make the 1.3 good, i'd just drop a better engine in

id be tempted to drop another engine m8 but seeing as its not let me down and she gets me from a to b thats main thing for me now and to enjoy driving her again when i can get that dam theory test out the way and then main test ahhhhhhh bloody things.......bigger engine will be drop in in a few years time not now......what do i have to look out for when buying a used carb and mainfold and down pipe this is all new to me already spotted some brake drums on ebay i am going to get

Why do you need manifolds?

A weber carb uses a conversion mount so it fits to your original inlet.

I very much doubt your original drums will be knackered so i would'nt bother buying new. Just buy new rear brake shoes.

with the mainfold and down pipe i think like they have seen better days
but im no brain surgeon with cars yet want to learn as much as i can before im older and slow lmao.....and wudnt be sure on brakes differently going to do the brake pads all around and bleed the pipes when i work out how to its no rush just want to start getting her ready for the day i can speed off into the night not sure where id find a webber carb at momment not a sniff on ed38 or egay so thought of going up locally scrapie and looking for a mk2 in there and taken the carb off of the 1.3 driver there if they are the same im not 100% sure

i don't think there is that much wrong with your car mate. i'll swing by and have a ganders for you, i have a mate timing light here, are you about on wednesday/thursday?

i'll be about bothb days fella just give me a buzz i aint got the orange mobile number anymore you got me over number?
